My Heritage

There are many things about my heritage that are special. Something that I think is special is the food. There's a lot of different foods, such as tacos, tamales, pozole, and much more. I think this is special because in my family, we eat these kinds of foods when we get together, and these foods remind me of my family. Something else about my heritage is the clothing. There are many traditional ways that people dress up in, such as colorful dresses and flowers in your hair. I find this very unique because it is different from the U.S., and other countries as well. Something else that is special is the festivals. A special celebration is Cinco De Mayo, which is the date the Mexicans celebrate and respect the Mexican army's victory over French forces. This is special because there are festivals here in our state as well and it's a fun time for my family.
